[SPHERE PLANS 'AKENED BY WAR

Hitler's Latest Role as Savior of World Against Communism Is Effective Propaganda in Many Latin Circles Where U. S. Is Hated More Than Nazis.

WASHIN GTON, June 28.

draws fire away from Britain and gives us more time, is weakening our hemisphere defense. Hitler's latest phony role as the savior of civilization

from Communism, which does States, is effective propaganda in many Latin American circle where we are hated more than the Nazis.

This confirms some of the major Latin American governments In their policy of “strict neutrality,” or

Ben-eo-operation with President

Roosevelt's attempted antiNazi united front. But there are exceptions — such as Central America, Mexico and Uruguay — but the general South American situation from the standpoint of united policy and WES defense is getting no better fast. Mr. Denny In Ecuador an influential newspaper appeals for support of Germany against Russia, and a Quito official demands a Latin American conference to recast

policy. . Violent anti-British and pro-Nazi demonstrations in Fascist Spain— to which so many Western Hemisphere countries are tied by common language, culture and religion —influence Latin Amercian politi--cians, generals, businessmen, landowners and churchmen. > In Argentina the acting President countered the recent Roosevelt fireside plea, for hemisphere defense against Hitler, with a statement to Congress insisting on strict neutrality. Many high officers of the Argentine army are so open in their pro-Nazi activities that an investigation has been ordered by the War Minister. : Brazil, whose strategic bulge is nearly 2800 miles east of our coast.line but only 1800 miles from Africa, is more dependent on’ the United States economically than is Argentina. But she remains definitely neutral in contrast to the Roosevelt policy. : Machinery Breaks Down

The United States in its aid-to-Russia policy, Robin Moor protest, expulsion of Nazi consuls, and ever closer war co-operation with Britain, receives only a minimum of

support from South American gov-|.

ernments sharing hemisphere defense. - Although Washington is pledged "to consult them under the Havana agreement of last year, a current survey by the Pan American Service of the Foreign Policy Association reveals that this widely advertised machinery is not working. The Havana éagreement provided for consultation through a temporary emergency committee, until the permanent inter-American commission could be set up. But three months were required to get enough governments—14 out of 21—to appoint representatives so that even the - emergency committee could exist. Now after a year the total is only 16—chiefly Caribbean and Céntral American, Only Have Name Aids

; only ‘half of the South American governments have named representatives — Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela. The holdouts are Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Paraguay, Uruguay. : The permanent inter-American commission cannot be: created because only eight of the required 14, or two-thirds, have: ratified the treaty. ‘And among those eight are only.two South American countries —Brazi] and Peru. ‘Since the permanent consultative machinery has not been set up, due to the non-co-operation of fourfifths of tne South American governments, the Washington administration for the most part has acted alorie. This, in turn, has multiplied the. traditional propaganda that the “Colossus of the North” is trying alone to make hemisphere policy, and* to commit South American countries without their consent. The United States is the dictator to fear,

they say. Under these conditions of disunity and suspicion a serious situation might arise if the Washington

Government took sudden naval ac-

tion in the name of hemisphere defense—such as occupation of French Martinique, as a result of growing bitterness between Washington and Hitler's Vichy. friends. ‘Of all possible war developments, perhaps. none could have played so effectively into the hands of the army of Nazi ‘agents in South merica as Hitler's invasion of ‘Russia, Hitherto they have been able to exploit the old hatred and|, fears of Yankee imperialism, much of . which remains despite the years of Roosevelt Good Neighbor policy. Now the Nazis can use also the fear of Communism, thus merging the ‘two chief Latin American ‘hatreds in potent fifth-columning. . , Moreover, the increased demand for: ‘our supplies in China and Britain leaves less for our own strategic defenses in the Caribbean, and for 1atn ‘American governments pleadfor armaments. Although prob«very few supplies needed : by Zain America will be sent to Rus- ~ unl year, oo can make capital of this. situation.

YOTE ON FDR'S DOLLAR POWER

Both Houses Meet, Rush 8 Appropriation Bills for Monday Deadline.

WASHINGTON, June 28 (U. P.). —The Senate today votes on a bill to extend President Roosevelt's dollar devaluation and stabilization powers for another two years, as pressure of fiscal year-end legislation forced both houses in Saturday session for the first time in months. The monetary bill comes up for a vote under an agreement intended to speed action to permit consideration of conference reports on eight appropriations bills—facing a Monday deadline—which total $14,000,000,000. The House will stand by for action on conference reports as they are made ready.

Ends Midnight Monday

The devaluation power and stabilization fund law expires midnight Monday unless renewed. Chief dispute over the extension measure concerns an amendment by Senator Alva B. Adams (D. Colo.) to kill the devaluation power but permit the $2,000,000,000 stabilization fund to operate until June 30, 1943. Two years ago, when extension of the powers was last up, the Senate adopted a similar amendment but then yielded to the House after a deadlock which delayed enactment for five days past the deadline. But at that time one of the foremost opponents of the measure was testy little Senator Carter Glass (D. Va.), who denounced the devaluation power as “unnecessary and immoral.” Senator Glass now is defending the legislation ‘just as angrily as he denounced it before. He explains that the present emergency

is “100 times greater” than the one necessitating the previous extension. Leaders anticipate defeat of the Adams amendment. If approved without amendment, the measure goes directly to the White House.

Pass Huge War Bill

The Senate may then turn to consideration of a bill passed by the House Thursday making funds available for loans at 85 per cent of parity on the five basic farm commodities—cotton, wheat, corn, rice and tobacco. The measure would increase the lending power of the Commodity Credit Corp. from $1,400,000,000 to $2,650,000,000. Only 80 minutes was required yesterday to pass the $10,384,821,624 War Department appropriation for 1942—largest supply bill ever voted by : Congress. The only measure approaching it in size was 'the 1919 Army bill, which came within less than $159,000,000 of its total. The Senate -also confirmed the nomination of Harlan Fiske Stone to be Chief Justice of the United States on July 1, the date on which Charles Evans Hughes retires. Mr. Stone, who is 69, has served as an

Nazi Regiment

MOSCOW, June 28 (U. P.).— Russian cavalrymen were reported today in a Soviet war communique

to have destroyed the Sixth German infantry regiment attempting to fight their way across the Pruth River on the Bessarabia-Bukovina front in the south. On the central Polish front, Soviet troops were said to have crushed German attempts to outflank Lwow. The communique asserted that the Red armies were holding firmly along the entire central and southern part of the front from Przemysl to the Black Sea. Fierce fighting was reported in progress in the direction of Minsk and Luck where German tank formations and the staff of the 39th Nazi Corps were said to have been put to rout. The communique, issued by the Soviet Information Bureau, said: “During the night of June 28, our troops continued fighting which was particularly fierce in the Minsk and Luck directions. In the Minsk direction our troops by a lightning onslaught by tank units, air force and artillery, routed enemy tank units and the headquarters of the 39th Tank Corps.

Tank Fighting Goes On

“In this battle, our forces captured trophies, war prisoners and documents relating to operations. In the Luck and Lwow directions, fighting against enemy tank units continued throughout the night. Attempts by the enemy to outflank Lwow were successfully repulsed by our troops, which are firmly holding the Lwow area. The results of night fighting is being ascertained. “On the Bessarabian sector of the front, our cavalry division charged and fully annihilated the sixth enemy infantry regiment, which attempted to cross the River Pruth. In the course of fighting on the banks of the Danube, 300 more prisoners were captured.” Red bombers were reported in newspaper dispatches, supplementing ‘ official communiques, to have blasted a German convoy attempting to land troops on the Baltic coast in the north. Soviet naval planes were said to have scored two direct hits on the transports. (Reports reaching London said Germany had launched attacks by land, sea and air along the Latvian and Esthonian coasts in an attempt to disorganize the Russian northern front.) Prussian - troops destroyed the headquarters of a large German formation, killing the general in command and seizing important documents relating to military operations, durng a heavy counter-at-tack, it was said. The communique said that last night Russian troops supported by a flotilla of river warships forced a pasSage of the Danube, seized advantageous positions and captured

in addition to 11 guns and a great quantity of ammunition. The communique told of many acts of heroism by .Russian troops, during the course of which hundreds of Germans were killed and hundreds taken prisoner. The communique denounced as a “brazen lie” statements by President Risto Ryti of Finland that Russia had designs on Finland. It denounced Italian charges that Russia had plotted against Bulgaria. Deny Bombing Hungary It denied that Russian planes had bombed Hungary and said that Hungary had declared war on Russia at Hitler's order. (The communique implied the Germans had been able to make no gains on the ‘important 450-mile Ukrainian front stretching southward from the Przemysl area.) Another communique, issued by the official news agency, Tass, said in part: “During the past day our troops in the Siaulai, Vilna and Baranovichi directions continue to retreat to positions prepared” for defense, halting and fighting on intermediary positions. “Actions by our troops in these directions were in the nature of violent encounters. In some directions and sectors our units of infantry launched counter-attacks, inflicting important defeats upon the enemy. ‘Bound by Friendship’ “Our Black Sea fleet in cooperation with the air force dealt a blow on the base of German ships in Conztanza. “The Italian press attempts to mislead world public opinion by its allegations that ‘Russia has aggressive designs against Bulgaria and other Balkan countries.’ “In reality the whole world knows that: “First, the Bulgarian and Russian peoples are bound by ties of historic friendship in the course of many decades; second, the Soviet Union took every possible measure to protect Bulgaria from the war into which Hitler has been and is drawing her; third, the Soviet Union has never had any aggressive intentions as regards other Balkan countries either. “At the same time everyone knows that Germany had trampled upon the state and national independence of the Balkan states while fascist Italy has enslaved Greece and the greater part of Jugoslavia. “The notorious Italian sheet Messaggero alleges with obviously provocational purpose that ‘the Russians are preparing for chemical warfare.” The purpose of this provocation is clear to everyone who is inthe least familiar with the customary methods of the GermanItalian fascists. Probably they themselves are preparing for chemical warfare and are trying beforehand to mix up the cards and lay the fault at the others’ doors.”

NAZIS PROMISE SUCCESS STORY

Detailed Report on Red War Due Tomorrow, Hitler’s G. H. Q. Says.

BERLIN, June 28 (U. P). — A communique, issued from Adolf Hitler’s Eastern Front headquarters to-

day promised a report tomorrow disclosing “our great successes” against the Red Army, which unofficial Nazi reports claimed was cracking up under German military blows. Although it was reported that the German armed forces had successfully blasted Russian railroads and highways in their drive to trap and destroy the enemy’s main fighting force, the High Command still failed to make any specific reference to military developments. Unofficial sources said that this was due to: 1. Important advances by the German forces which have cut off value for any official announcement divisions so that anything the High Command said would be giving information to Moscow.

Anxious for Propaganda Effect

2. The Nazis are anxious to get the greatest possible propaganda value for any ocial announcement and this might be done by awaiting definite and sensational] military re-

informants said (that while the German ground forces slashed deeper into the Russian lines on the great plains, German airplanes destroyed 45 freight cars, set seven trains afire, derailed one and destroyed several railroad stations. It was asserted that German planes had made daring, low level attacks throughout yesterday on important Russian railroads and that freight and transport trains had been set afire.

More Planes Available

They said that a greater force of bombing planes had been made available since Thursday because the Russian air force had been “permanently crippled” by five days of German attack. The official news agency asserted

"that German forces had captured a

big Russian air field, taking many planes intact. The agency said ‘that during the first days of the campaign Germans took large numbers of prisoners and great quantities of war materials. It was said that German anfiaircraft guns and night fighter planes shot down 11 British planes during the night wheén “weak” British forces raided northwest Germany. The British bombs did “limited” damage to buildings, it was said. . Thirty-six British planes were shot down during attempts to attack the German-occupied French coast yesterday and last night, the official German news agency reported. Five more British planes were shot down by Germ naval artillery which turned! back RAF bomber units attempting to carry out raids against the north German coast, the agency said.

UAW STRIKES AT CHRYSLER CORP.

Claims ‘Speedup’ in Army Truck Part Plant; Dow Dispute Unsettled.

By UNITED PRESS Two C. I. O. strikes over disciplinary action disrupted defense production today at Michigan plants of the Chrysler Corp. and the Dow Chemical Co. At Marysville, Mich., 1800 members of the United Automobile Workers walked out of the Chrysler plant manufacturing parts for Army trucks in protest against disciplining of four women employees. The union charged the company with attempting a “speedup” and said the women “couldn't stand the pace.” Hope, for Early Peace The company denied the charge and said the women refused to work. Morris Field, U.A.W. assistant regional director, said he had conferred with company and local union officials and hoped to settle the dispute so the plant could resume operations Monday. At Midland,” Mich. negotiators attempted to end the strike called at the Dow Co. by the Chemical Division of the United Mine Workers Union yesterday to protest suspension of an employee for alleged insubordination. Conferences recessed last night without yielding a settlement.

Supply Magnesium

State Police said 1000 workers had passed through picket lines to keep the plant operating, but the union claimed only 200 returned. The company supplies 75 per cent of the magnesium used in airplane production. A California chemical company announced it will attempt to break

the oldest labor tie-up affecting U. S. Army orders. The Britishowned American Potash & Chemical Corp. notified employees it will try to resume production of soda and potash at Tron:, Cal, next Wednesday. A strike of members of the Mine, Mill and Smelters Union (C. I. O.) was called last March 19.

Associate OPM Director Sidney Hillman said labor and management representatives would be invited to conferences to draft regional agreements, similar to those being negotiated for the shipbuilding industry.

daily what he calls the “political press” of the state, and puts the public-opinion polls in the same category as witchcraft. Congressman Johnson announced his candidacy at the White House door in Washington. The President called him his “old and close friend.” At least twice in the campaign Mr. Johnson has had personal messages from Mr. Roosevelt. Mr. Mann—youthful, energetic, perhaps the best handshaker in the state—has worked the ground from the Panhandle to the Rio Grande. Conservative, he seems to have much of business behind him. Congressman Dies, whom many had expected to burn up the state, doesn’t appear to have done as well as his friends had anticipated. Apparently a lot of money has been spent in the campaign.

HEAR FINNS AND RUSS QUIT FIGHT

London Hopes Sweden, Too, May Avoid Open Axis Alliance.

By WILLIAM H. STONEMAN

LONDON, June 28. — .The best news available in Europe today was that Russian attacks on Finland had ‘ceased and that the Finns themselves = were maintaining a strictly correct attitude toward their big neighbor. It is now hoped that both Finland and Sweden may avoid being dragged into open alliance with the Axis despite the constant pressure which is being applied in both countries. Both Scandinavian and American sources here are agreed that their resistance can best be fortified by a clearcut American declaration to both Helsinki and Stockholm. The Finns would do almost anything to avoid entanglement with the United States, provided the latter country were able to give them certain assurances with regard to Finland's post war status. The Swedish population would certainly be anxious to co-operate with the United States and the Allies. The Swedish Government and big businessmen could not contemplate the possibility that Swedish ships and Swedish assets in the United States would be confiscated or immobilized. The official Swedish position is founded on two desires: The first and most important, “peace at practically any price”; the second, the maintenance of Finland as an independent buffer state between Russia and Scandinavia proper. It is generally admited by Swedes in private that this course will probably end in Sweden being swallowed by the Axis and they privateiy hope that the pressure, which is now being applied by the British, and the pressure, which may or may not be applied by the United States, will compel the Swedish Government to mend its ways.

RAFBLASTS ON; 12 PLANES LOST

Shipyards, Naval Bases and Invasion Ports Are Bombed Heavily.

LONDON, June 28 (U. Pim Strong formations of British planes sped across the English Channel today to blast invasion ports and German bases in North France, cone tinuing a large-scale attack’ made last night on shipyards and indus trial objectives in northwestern Germany. a Lond-range bombing * planes, ‘in

their 17th successive night attack on German snd German-occupied territory, had made a powerful ate tack on Bremen and Vegesack, the Air Ministry had said, scoring

|“many direct hits” on shipyards and

industrial objectives. “Many large fires were seen in the town as well as the dock area” of Bremen, the ministry said. : The attack on Vegesack, it was said, centered on the Vulean ship building yards, where U-boats are built. Other targets during the night attack, apparently one of the heava iest ever made on Germany, as 13 British bombing planes were ade miited lost, were the naval bases at Emden, Wilhelmshaven and Cuxhaven, and Oldenburg, Denhielides and Dunkirk.

Attack Power Station

British Blenheim bombers, escorte ed by fighters, were reported to have carried out a successful attack this morning against a power station at Comines, near Lille in northwestern France, and to have destroyed three enemy fighter planes. The main building was reported hit.

All the bombers were. said to have returned safely from the morning sweep of North France, Three British fighters were reported missing, but one of the pilots was said to be safe. While long-range bombers hame mered distant objectives during last night, planes of the fleet air : operating under the Coastal Come mand, pounded the docks at Calais, on the north French Coast across the English channel from ‘Dover, Shipping was believed the main target.
